If you want to give money to artists, why don't you, er, pay them for doing their thing? Like, enlarge art schools, support exhibitions or festivals, whatever.

Of course just raining money on (some of) them requires way less effort, but it makes it seem like art is just a money sink and cannot create tangible value (spoiler: it can).
